Hi Everyone,
Covid shot mandates have become a reality where I live (Canada, Ontario), and I'm basically forced to get it if I want to have/keep a job. So I'm looking for help trying to find (practical) solutions to either:
1) Find a way to get a medical (or some other form of) exemption.
2) more realistically find ways to dampen the "potential side effects" (inflammation and such, please read below on my past history and experience with flu shots) when I have to get the shot.
I was thinking vitamin E and progesterone might help (can't take aspirin), as well as some vitamin C (I know it's not strictly speaking Peaty but still), I've also heard that lipase enzymes could potentially remove the lipid protective layer enveloping the mRNA (still haven't seen much additional information on this).
Here are some additional pieces of information:
- The main reason I have been trying to avoid it is my history of terrible reactions to flu shots. Pretty much every time I've gotten them I've had issues. The last couple of times I had to take them because of work I had liver pain followed by signs of liver damage (including elevated enzymes and general feelings associated with depressed liver function), the second time being worse than the first. These events were 2 years apart and the only common element was the shot. To this day I don't think my liver function has been back to were it was before. Unfortunately, I doubt this would constitute a "proven medical condition" since even when it did happen it was dismissed by different doctors I went to as it not being related.
There are documented cases of flu shot causing hepatoxicity of liver and in some cases autoimmune hepatitis; and I've seen a few case studies on covid shots causing the same issues.
- There aren't really any choices in terms of which types I can get, there's only mRNA vaccines that are available - my preference would probably be an adenovirus with no adjuvants and/or attenuated/deactivated virus shots but they are not approved here.
Please try to stay practical, moving to another country is not really an option right now, finding another job is also ongoing - more places are making vaccinations a condition of employment too so it's not that simple.
I would also like to keep discussion on point if possible.
Thanks!
